The human mind.

"Odin…"

Sam's mood soured the moment he saw the old man's face. He looked much better than the last time they met, with all of his limbs restored and injuries healed. One thing that didn't change is that he's wrapped n chains, his body fixed to a chair leaving him no space for movement at all.

[How do you feel?] The old man asked, his expression remaining neutral. 

"Am I supposed to feel something?" Sam asked, doing his best to remain calm. 

Tension increased as they stared into each other's eyes, neither one saying anything for a while.

"Elina, where is Alice right now?"

His question received no answer. The female scientist remained silent, her eyes cast down. The old man was the last person he had expected to survive so with him being around it only made sense for the others to be around. Sadly it appears things aren't that simple.
